In summary, AMBA = Advanced Microcontroller Bus Architecture AMBA is ⦁ open standard. ⦁ on chip interconnect specification. ⦁ defines the connection and management of functional blocks in System on Chips - In summary AMBA protocols define how functional blocks communicate with each other.
example of a SOC design - AMBA is widely used on a range of ASIC and SoC parts like applications processors used in devices like ⦁ IoT subsystems ⦁ smartphones ⦁ networking SoC Why use AMBA ?
⦁ it enables efficient IP reuse ⦁ it offers flexibility to work in a range of SoCs ⦁ AMBA allows compatibility between IP components from different design teams or vendors. ⦁ It is widely implemented and supported throughout the semiconductor industry. Bus Interface Performance ?
there are 2 main characteristics ⦁ Bandwidth: the rate of data across the interface. In a synchronous system, the maximum bandwidth = clock speed * width of the data bus. ⦁ Latency: the delay between the start and end of transaction. In a burst based system, the latency is dependent of the completion of the start transaction that the burst, depending of the relevance to the system. - The sufficiency of the interface will depend on how it can achieve the maximum bandwidth with zero latency.
